U.S. trying to determine if any Americans affected in Taiwan train crash -State Dept

The United States expressed condolences for victims of a train crash in Taiwan on Friday and said it was working to determine whether any Americans were affected, the State Department said.

A Taiwan express train with almost 500 aboard derailed in a tunnel on Friday after hitting a truck that had slid down a bank onto the track, killing at least 50 passengers and injuring 146 in the island's worst rail disaster in seven decades.
